Graphics: No different from the first one. Kinda washed out, and looks like improved GT2 graphics. One nice thing is that upgrading the bikes means you can change the way the bike looks.
Physics: Close, but not quite. This is actually where RS2 shines. Just like riding a real motorcycle, you have to plan ahead for each turn. It's actually not quite as challenging as the original RS, but then riding a motorcycle isn't all that difficult anyway.
Tracks: A nice range of interesting tracks. I don't know how many, but more than the original RS.
Races: Nothing too long, but a lot of them, and the higher levels require a great deal of skill to win on.
Weird things: Lots of leathers and helmets, but you only need one set which is given to you before you race your first race.
License tests: Some easy, some not so easy, some insanely difficult. Not really license tests because they don't award you a license, nor do you need to complete them to race, but they're GT style license tests just the same.
Sounds: Not as good as the original RS. Quite surprising, but true. Some of the bikes in the original were dead on the real bikes, but RS2 is chock full of generic motorcycle sounds. Some are still dead-on, but most aren't even close.
I'd rank it about the same as the original RS. RS2 has more tracks, a lot more bikes, and about double the amount of races. RS1 has better engine sounds, better wheelies, and better upgrade options.
In the end, they come off pretty even. I prefer the original because of the engine sounds, but RS2 is different and good enough to warrant a purchase if you enjoyed the original.
btw: the dirt racing and the dirt bikes suck massive amounts of... well, let's just say that you won't be looking forward to your next dirt bike race. The "chairs", or scooters are actually much funner to race than the dirt bikes. And that ain't sayin' much at all.
